Resolution Fix for windows7 with GWX and OLC2

Marek Shields · 09-15-17, 09:27 PM

Hello folks!

I have decided to install SH3 again after a long break to give it another go but I am having a bit of an issue with the resolution for the game with windows 7. I am using an nVidia GPU and when I fire up SH3 (mod list below), the game runs in widescreen but the GUI is stretched. I tried to use the SH3_XPSP2_Res_Fix but to no avail on Windows 7, the game just crashes after the GWX intro movie. Would someone be so kind as to take a look at my mod list and perhaps suggest a fix to the issue or maybe suggest a replacement mod if I am doing something wrong?

I don't mind running in 4:3 aspect ratio if that will get rid of the stretching issue. I was just hoping for a slightly higher resolution (even at 4:3) to get the most out of the game.

SuperMod:
GWX 3.0 (or whatever the latest version is on SubSim)

Mods:
GWX - Captain America's Officer Icons
GWX - English Nav Map and Grid Refs
GWX - Main movie - 'Das Boot'
GWX Turm Lights fix
OLC 'Gold' MkII ~ Option 4 ~ Environment with EDE and GUI with LRT
DBSM for SH3
DBSM_SH3_Speech_Fix
LifeBoats&Debris_v4
Pascal_portpeople
Real Depth Charge
Seabed_Repair_Mod
Spirit of machines
Torpedo damage Final ver 2.0
UAS Aircraft Sounds
Waterstr+Exhaust-CombiV2.3
Supplement to V16B1 (JSGME)

I also have the VB16B1 hardcode fixes in place as part of the 'Supplement to V16B1 mod. Not sure if they are recommend or not given the rest of the mods I have.

Any help or suggestions that you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
